I'm new (so new that I still have the plastic wrapping on me) and I nearly stopped playing on my second day when I realised that dungeons were forced and further progression was tied behind them.

I love mmo's but almost never do dungeons. I have MS so some days I find stuff more difficult than others. I am used to it so I just play around it but I hate to inflict my crap on others so I just don't do dungeon content and especially not with peeps I don't know. Anyway ... I was really enjoying the game and first dungeon was sat there so I either cut my losses or grit my teeth. I decided to just give it a try and joined a queue. I explained I was new on entering the dungeon and I have to say that the other peeps in the party were so nice and so kind. They explained stuff as we went along and told me not to worry when I made a mistake. It was an easy dungeon I know but the whole experience was so much better than I expected.

I have done the second and third since and each were equally cool groups. Not a single bad experience. I have now joined a FC full of really cool people, explained my situation and so will hopefully find the next lot of dungeons fun with people I kind of know. I am so happy I did not just quit. However I did not watch the cut scenes. I had discovered you could watch them again via the book in the inn private rooms and so considered that it would be better to see them there rather than have people waiting for the noob.
